Legal Options, Inc. (“LOI”) was founded in 1997 by its President and principal neutral, Geoffrey B. White, who retired from the practice of law following a twenty-four year career as a trial attorney concentrating in various types of complex litigation in both state and federal courts.

Legal Options is a private dispute resolution company providing mediation, arbitration and case evaluation services to attorneys, insurance companies, individuals and corporations throughout New England. With Massachusetts locations in Needham, Boston, Worcester and Springfield, clients throughout the state can choose the site which best accommodates their needs and schedules.

In addition to their work as providers of dispute resolution services, many of our panel members hold either an adjunct faculty or full-time faculty position at the law school or graduate school level and teach in areas of negotiation or dispute resolution. Regular interaction with the academic aspects of the ADR field helps ensure that all LOI panelists utilize dispute resolution procedures and methods which have been rigorously tested, but are never stale or inflexible. We feel that an innovative but balanced approach and perspective is required to maintain our effectiveness as neutrals in a competitive field. With the broad litigation experience of our panel members, this approach has allowed LOI to successfully mediate and arbitrate hundreds of cases for parties, their counsel and insurers since 1997.

In addition to our extensive ADR practice, the company offers consulting and training services to business and corporate clients in negotiation and conflict management.

Our main offices are in the Hillsite Office Building located at 75 Second Avenue in Needham, Massachusetts. Normal business hours are Monday thru Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
